Title:
AUTOMATIC FAUCET
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2017/056391
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
An automatic faucet comprises a flow rate regulating mechanism to regulate the flow rate of water discharge, a water temperature regulating mechanism to regulate the temperature of discharged water, and a control unit to control the flow rate regulating mechanism and the water temperature regulating mechanism. The control unit has a normal water discharge mode in which the flow rate regulating mechanism and the water temperature regulating mechanism are controlled so that the water is discharged at a predetermined set flow rate and a predetermined set water temperature and a variable water discharge mode in which the flow rate regulating mechanism and the water temperature regulating mechanism are controlled so that water is discharged by periodically varying at least one of the flow rate and the water temperature with respect to the set flow rate or the set water temperature. Thus, it is possible to provide an automatic faucet suitable for cleaning and for which the device configuration is simplified.
